Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council has completed the procurement process for an "Interim Head of Legal Services and Data Monitoring Officer" position, covering the period from June to December 2026. Operating within the legal services industry sector, this tender targets sub-central government public authority needs, specifically within Dartford, UK. The chosen procurement method was direct, executed below the threshold without competition. The contract was awarded on 27th May 2026 to G2V Recruitment Group Limited, with the engagement set to commence on 28th June 2026 and conclude on 31st December 2026. It has a potential extension depending on the appointment of a permanent position.

This tender represents a business growth opportunity, particularly for large-scale suppliers with expertise in legal services and advisory roles. Companies capable of providing skilled personnel for strategic governmental positions can benefit from such tenders. Although the process was completed through a direct method without public competition, similar future opportunities might open up avenues for SMEs and other capable firms willing to engage with sub-central government entities in delivering essential services.
